Miguel Prado Casanova surveys the prospect of different “contextures” of a present made volatile by noise. Informed by many different fields of contemporary science in order to surveys the role of randomness and noise through domains such social, biological, computational and physical systems as well as the control of uncertainty and prediction.


Miguel Prado Casanova is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy in the Department of Social Sciences at UWE. His main work resides at the intersection of philosophy, sound art, science & technology. He responds to the technoscientific and social conditions around the notions of control, uncertainty and information theory, about how noise brings into crisis the division between activity and passivity, between knowing and feeling. He researches the problems of the metascientific and ideological foundations of diverse projects of prediction and control of uncertainty. From algorithmic surveillance back to cybernetics and how these render noise “informationally heretical”.
